Introducing Amazon EKS
In the previous chapter, we talked about the basic concepts of a container, container orchestration, and Kubernetes. Building and managing a Kubernetes cluster by yourself can be a very complex and time-consuming task, but using a managed Kubernetes service can remove all that heavy lifting and allow users to focus on application development and deployment.
In this chapter, we are going to explore Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) and its technical architecture at a high level to get a good understanding of its benefits and drawbacks.
To sum up, this chapter covers the following topics:
- What is Amazon EKS?
- Understanding the EKS architecture
- Investigating the Amazon EKS pricing model
- Common mistakes when using EKS
